Director: Nuri Big Ceylan

accidentally found this film on the computer while watching a boring winter night.

Many movies can make you have a very clear definition of the music at the end of the credits, or relax after exhaustion, feel relaxed and happy, or feel that the scenery in the film is beautiful, or feel that it is still melodious/ In the refreshing music, I walked out of the cinema, closed the computer, and was still surrounded by movies.

However, there are also many movies that make me feel that I can’t comment for a while, too much information can’t be summed up and explained in simple words, and even my own feelings are difficult to sort out. is true.

The plot of the story is very simple, there is not even a complete story, it is just recording, using real indoor scenes and plain pictures.

Residents in the village rely on their beliefs and listen to sermons every day, but they cannot live in clean, tidy and comfortable houses according to the teachings. Too many local children do not have schools to go to.
The conversation between Aiden and his sister about the meaning of life, the debate between his sister and his wife about whether to fight against evil, the debate between Aiden and his wife about their relationship, and even Aiden's final monologue, are all vividly portrayed. Aiden's character traits. The conflict gradually intensified, and when he returned home again, Aiden regained himself, a true understanding of himself.

Its brand new self couldn't leave, feeling old and crazy, willing to be Nihal's slave.

From Aiden's point of view, has he found his true self?
Is his real self just an old and crazy retired actor? Or abandon selfishness and hypocrisy and recognize yourself?

Winter Sleep quotes

  • Aydin: Justice doesn't even exist in nature, why should it exist here?

  • Aydin: [Epilogue] Nihal, I didn't go away. I couldn't. Whether it's because I've grown old, or I've gone mad, or because I've become a different man, think what you like. I just don't know. But this new man inside me for a few days won't let me go away. Please, don't ask me to go either. I now understand nothing is calling me to Istanbul. Everything is alien to me there as it is everywhere else. I want you to know that I have no one but you. And I miss you every minute, every second that goes by. But my pride will never let me tell you this. I know very well how to terrible or impossible it would be to part from you. Just as I know that you do not love me anymore. I know we can't go back to the old days. And there is no need to. Take me with you like a servant, like a slave. And let us continue our life even if we do it your way. Forgive me.
